I hope you can find another bread product that’s perfect for bushy eyebrows.

Ooh and maybe tiny bagels for eyes. That might be too silly or too small

I would slightly discourage that here. The Color of Magic is fine, but the Light Fantastic is a bit rough. Equal Rites is fine again, but doesn’t really focus on the characters that make the Witches series good.

It may depend quite a bit on the pill. As an adult I can easily dry swallow things like ibuprofen. But I’m not sure about something like oral steroids.

I was prescribed them as a kid due to a particularly bad poison ivy reaction. I couldn’t swallow pills at the time, so after running through all the tricks to teach someone, we ended up grinding them up and sticking them in ice cream. It was something like 15 years before I could eat cookies and cream again without tasting steroids. Grinding them definitely exacerbated the problem, but I’m not sure how I’d fare if prescribed the same pills again.

It’s somewhat bizarre to me that the settings menu isn’t just a reskinned control panel that either launches the new or old items depending on what they’ve finished so far.

I can’t imagine what they’ve done is easier than rewriting control panel items in full one by one.

You can do a halfway decent job of modernizing just by having an “advanced” toggle that shows the more arcane/less used settings.

I understand the desire to race towards a minimum viable product and get the core functionality into the glossy new thing, but they already had a minimum viable product in the control panel.

Not just air-tight, lighter-than-air-tight. I’m not sure if it’s true for the whole set of lighter-than-air gasses, but helium is infamously difficult to keep from leaking, even with modern technology.

Good at making gasses behave is a weird choice for ancient technologies we lost.

Too many. I wish Lemmy had post tags, it would make things easier. There are communities I would be interested in, if I had any tools to help see the things I care about.

I’m left with more politics than I’d like, but that’s still preferable to anything I block.

Broadly speaking:

Memes Anime, mostly due to all the anime girl communities Sports Foreign language communities if I really can’t read anything, or I’m seeing too many posts in a row from them Communities that aren’t for memes but that are overrun with them. Sometimes if this is driven by a particular user I might block them instead Communities with porn in the name

What elements that you consider core to the genre is it missing?

Vermont’s dot representing its capital is very misplaced. It’s substantially too far north.

Even for non-niche interests, it was nice to have at least some spaces where memes were against the rules.

Here that’s quite rare. It ends up being much more politics heavy, and still with more memes than I’d care to see even with heavy blocking of communities.

Support for tags would help. Or an option to auto collapse comments with inline images.
